Oculus Rift S (2019) vs Samsung Gear VR

The Oculus Rift S (2019) has managed to impress reviewers from two reliable and objective sources that conduct their own testing, namely creativebloq.com and Windows Central. It did great in their roundups - it earned the "Ranked 2 out of 11" title from creativebloq.com, and "Ranked 1 out of 1" from Windows Central, which marks it as a product that's worth considering.

As for the Samsung Gear VR - it impressed reviewers at creativebloq.com, a trustworthy source that conducts solid hands-on testing. It did great in its "The best VR headsets in 2023 for art or gaming" roundup - in fact, it earned its "A great cheap VR headset to team up with your Samsung mobile devices." title, which, on its own, indicates a certain level of quality.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these VR Headsets, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Oculus Rift S (2019) got its highest, 10, rating from TechGearLab, while the Samsung Gear VR earned its best, 8, score from T3.

Lastly, we averaged out all of their review ratings and observed that the Oculus Rift S (2019), with its 8.1 average, performed considerably better than most VR Headsets - the mean score for the product category being 7.5 out of 10 - while the Samsung Gear VR managed an average of 7.5.

There's one caveat here - it might not be entirely justifiable to do a direct Oculus Rift S (2019) vs. Samsung Gear VR review average comparison since they aren't priced the same and more expensive products tend to get higher review scores from some sources.
